The EADS Tanker Can’t Refuel The USMC Osprey?

Boeing’s Mark McGraw just told me that on air. Doesn’t it strike you as a pretty significant advantage for Boeing that its proposed tanker could refuel the new Marine Corps platform while the Airbus tanker can’t? If there was a huge gap between the two tankers, that might not make a difference, but by every account, it was a dead heat, so this difference seems very significant on its face.
